Will microsoft update vista in the near future?

I'll tell you this. I absolutely hate windows vista. it looks a lot softer and nicer but it lacks a lot. will microsoft come out with some sort of software or upgrade to make your hardware(printer, graphics card, etc) and software(older games) with vista or is vista gonna suck forever? the reason i ask this question is because i need a new laptop and sooner or later i won't be able to choose the option of having xp on my computer. and installing xp is a hassle.

It's not up to Microsoft to release drivers for printers, graphics cards, modems, etc. They have been unfairly blamed in this. It's up to the manufacturer's to release drivers that work with Vista for their products. Many companies have been slack in this even though they have had the specs for Vista for years.

Backward compatibility for games would be good but it's unlikely. Microsoft will look to move forward and new software will be created to replace the old, just like new games will make you forget about the old ones.

The 1st patch SP1 is on the way...Or just wait til Windows 7 comes out.
you should've stuck with XP for at least another year... history repeats itself
I sure hope so, because I don't like this piece of CRAP!
OS X is way better than windows, but thats besides the point....anyway there will be a service pack 1 coming out next year for vista. until then good luck! and the sad news is there is a SP 3 for XP which is suppose to make XP run 10% faster while vista stays the same.
Vista SP1 is in select beta testing at present and is scheduled for full release in the late spring or early summer of 2008. Even then it would be avdisable to wait another couple of months after that to ensure it is stable and not full of bugs.

You can follow some of the more popular blogging sites that has news on the new features for Vista SP1. Here is one for your perusal.
